I hear you, personally grabbing the charger for overnight stays hasn't been a problem but there are a few compact/inexpensive third-party dongles that are like the official charging cable but without the cable[0]. They can be stay in a car, laptop bag, etc. and charge the watch from an iPhone or another usb-c power source.

- apparent 9mo agoHuh interesting, I guess that would help somewhat. But for me, I prefer to pretty much never have to worry about charging my watch. As a kid, I had watches that didn't need new batteries for years. As an adult, I was willing to trade off some battery life (down to a week or so) in order to get notifications my wrist, music controls, and activity tracking. Although I can see some benefit in being able to see my Uber status in real time, or other app-related functionality, I am not interested in charging a wearable every day or two. I don't want to have to worry about whether I'm "using my watch too much" to be able to make it through a short trip, or until the end of my second day. I know some people have different preferences on this, but for me a watch should be something that doesn't require any maintenance for weeks at a time.

- mc3301 9mo agoI use a solar-powered Casio wave ceptor. No batteries ever, and the time is always accurate. I haven't touched a button on the watch in years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_Wave_Ceptor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_Wave_Ceptor
